Milk! Records

'Milk! Records' was an Australian record label founded in 2012 by musicians Jen Cloher and Courtney Barnett. In early 2019, Tom Larnach-Jones previously of Trifekta Records took over the role of label manager.

In July 2023, Barnett confirmed Milk! Records will be disestablished at the end of 2023, after 12 years. Barnett said about the decision to close Milk! Records in an interview with The Guardian, saying, "It has been one of the great honours of my life to be a part of this incredible community and to work alongside so many amazing artists. Thank you to every single person who has been part of the Milk! Records journey, it wouldn't be the same without you."

The final album released on the label was Barnett's instrumental album End of The Day released on 8 September 2023. It features 17 tracks written to score the 2022 documentary Anonymous Club.
